📝 Description

The one-minute overview addresses the perplexing nature of addiction, focusing on why individuals continue substance use despite experiencing harm and distress to themselves and others. The discussion explores various frameworks for understanding this behavior, including whether addiction is best defined as a brain disease or if psychological explanations can account for it without resorting to victim-blaming. It also poses the broader philosophical question of rationality concerning addicted and non-addicted individuals.

This segment features a conversation with Hanna Pickard, an academic from Johns Hopkins University and author of "What Would You Do Alone in a Cage with Nothing but Cocaine? A Philosophy of Addiction," who offers philosophical insight into the condition.
